Known as Beauty Elixir, or Facelift in a bottle, Olive Squalane is hailed as a cruelty-free option to Squalene, taken from sharks.
Olive Squalane is known for its ability to mimic the skin's natural sebum, enabling it to be readily absorbed, creating a barrier that locks in moisture, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Reported Benefits
- Intense Hydration: With a lightweight texture, Olive Squalane is an excellent choice for all skin types. It offers deep penetration, hydrating without clogging pores and encouraging soft and supple skin.
- Antioxidants: Helpful for shielding the skin from environmental stressors, Olive Squalane assists in neutralising free radicals and supporting the skin's natural functions.
- Barrier Support: Olive Squalane helps with moisture retention and preventing transepidermal water loss, by reinforcing the skin's natural lipid barrier.
- Non-Comedogenic: Suitable for even acne-prone skin, Olive Squalane helps with oil production and keeping the skin balanced without flaring breakouts.
- Stable Formulation: Olive Squalane has a low PUFA content, ensuring it remains stable and reducing the risks of oxidative stress to the skin.
Produced naturally from olives, Olive Squalane is a high purity botanical lipid that is extremely compatible with skin.
Suitable for even the most sensitive or reactive skin conditions including psoriasis and dermatitis, Olive Squalane helps prevent moisture loss and improve the structure of the natural lipid film.
